RECORDINGS

By Fremont Power

Berg: Concérto for Viélin and Orchestra; Louis Krasner, with the Cleveland Orchestra, Artur Rodsinski eonduecting (Columbia). Alban Bérg diéd on Christmas Eve, 1935, in Vienna, where his reputation for the most part was founded on a single work, the opera

“Wozzeck.”

It was somewhat of a sensation when done by Leopold

Stokowski, the Philadélphid Orchestra and the League of Composers. Besides ‘this work, Berg had two others, his “Lyric Suite” and the concerto at hand, which proved him a composer of extraordinary if not prolific gifts. A diseiple of Arnold Schoenberg, Berg employed the 12-tone system in most Of his creations, and managed to make musie of it, although it is still customary fo look upon the method down lofig

noses. Berg was interested by Mr. Krasner in writing a violin concerto in 1934 but not until the death of a young friend, Manon Gropius, daughter of the widow of Mahler, did he set to work. And he finished it off in .six weeks. Ironically, the Fequien turned out to be his own. 3 This is a concerto of complex organization, lucidly arranged, with a tenderness that springs from strength rather than weakness. It is progrim musie, comprising the illness of his friend, hér apparent reéuperation, the threat of death—and finally a comiplétioni of the cycle. Mr. Krasner, of course, is thoroughly faniiliar with the concerto and has played it extensively. His performdnce i§ éntirély worthy of Berg's intentions and the récording is mechanically good. Written in a style. which to most listéners will be strange, to say the least, thé concerto is one which should have several listenings béfore judgment i$ passed.

Schumann: Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, the ‘“Rhenish”; the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra, Bruno Walter conducting (Columbia). Schumann, the romanticist, Wrois of . the places he saw, the 8s he heard. Such associations—betweén music and scene— are to be heard in the “Rhenish,” even though in a general rather than a specific way. Aside from the fourth movement of this symphony, the music was intended, according t6 Schumann himself, to have a national, popular character. :

From this plan we get more a collection of Germanic sketches, rather than a “symphony.” The recording artists, Mr. Walter and the Philharmonic, will be remembered for their Beethoven “Eroita” of last winter, one of the outstanding offerings of the season. « Their "work on the Schumann Third is in the same lofty, virile plane.

Mozart: Symphony No. 39 (K. 543) in E flat; the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Thomas Beecham conducting bia). ' Whatever Mozart set his hahd to, he left a mark of genius. In his E flat symphony, there is a leisurely, suré git, an utter richness of melody, a summer freshness—in short, a full measure of Mozart. There are the pastoral allegro and andante, a poetic minuet and a boisterous finale. . Sir Thomas is a Mozart man and he makes this recording one which deserves a place, in any collector’s library. In all, one of the best from Columbia in some time.

Bach: Italian Concerto in F major; Artur Schnabel, pianist (Victor). 3 Mr. Schnabel hereby proves, and not for the first time, that

his musical range extends con«

siderably beyond Beethoven, for which he is perhaps best known. This is a tightly-wound little work, a concerto for solo instrument without orchestra. It should be explained, probably, that Bach wrote his con-

(Colm -

certos without a view to contrasting solo instrument and orchestra. He intended only to make the soloist the predominant performer and the style was carried further until only the solo instrument remained, as in the Italian Concerto.

Myr. Schnabel “ careful to keep

his performance within the modest bounds of the composition, suggesting a score originally for harpsichord, but without dispensing with the fuller tone, etc., of the modern piano. All i8 excellent.

Movie Craftsmen To Help Defense

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 18.—A few months ago the story was told how most of the studios wete building dummy airplanes for aviation pictutes and it was facetiously prophesied that Hollywood might find it-

self conscripted for actual defense production. It’s no gag now. The idea is being discussed in Washington. All the studios have excellent machine: shops and highly skilled mechanics. Without neglecting studio jobs, the lathes, drill presses and other tools could be kept busy several hours daily making small, precise parts. Movie craftsmen have boasted they can make anything from a wristwatch to a locomotive, but their special skills and equipment likely will turn them to optical and fire-control instruments.
